How to Normalize Prices and Availability Without Guessing
Apply only safe known-value mappings to messy supplier data.
How to diagnose and repair the issue
- Identify recognized synonyms such as available or sold out
- Keep unknown inventory states flagged for review
- Normalize prices only when amount and ISO code are unambiguous
- Compare export counts and source catalog values
- Validate the changed feed before uploading
⚠ Before exporting
Unknown stock states and ambiguous price values remain unchanged on purpose.
Check the fix
Keep an untouched copy of your source feed. Run the relevant check again, inspect flagged rows and compare a small sample with your store catalog. Merchant Center may apply additional requirements by country, product category and destination.
For the definitive requirements, review Google's current product data specification and your own Merchant Center diagnostics.
